Basicaly i tried out a new thermal compound. IC diamond 7 - can be baught for $6.99 off heatsink factory.com.
My system specs:
dfi dk lanparty m2rs
FX62
Zalman 9700
140mm fan in front
120mm fan in back
250mm fan on side
2x1GB patriot extream performance 800mhz 4 4 4 12
2 400gb samsung drives in raid 0
sapphire 100225l 3870 512mb ddr4
blah blah rest doesn't matter much
heres my results:
No compound: 30c idle 65c+load(shutdown set in bios)
Artic silver 5: 27c idle 48c load(woot) (fresh application)
Artic silver 5: 27c idle 46c load(woot again) (2 week set in)
IC diamond7: 24c idle 36c load(10 minute dryout)
IC diamond7: ?? ?? (2 hour cure not ready yet lol)
i dunno bout you, but a 10 degree drop on a 125 watt proc is impressive when your already at 46c... and thats only on air
IC diamond is.. let me copy and paste lol
Each tube of IC Diamond Thermal grease contains 7 carats of micronized diamond with diamond particle loadings @ 92% by weight, 94% after 10 minute dry-out prior to heat sink installation. Material loading above 90% is recommended as the best combination of rheological and thermal properties to minimize interface pump out due to thermal cycling.
Superior bulk conductivity
Excellent thermal impedance
Tight particle distributions
< 40 ì maximum particle diameter
Silicone free
Lower viscosity
Greater stability
Non capacitive or electrically conductive
diamonds 4-10 better than silver in transfering heat(depends on the diamond)
someone go do some benchmarks and post em in a good place
let the world know better is out there
